Winn Davis Park stands as the home of Cinco Bayou's New Town Hall and abounds with majestic oaks, a manicured lawn, picnic tables upon the deck, and a spot to drop in a fishing line. Constructed in 1989, Town hall is a significant architectural asset to the community because of its neo-Georgian style that includes a strong contemporary influence. The interior features four columns that support an atrium design feature that accents the inverted ceilings and a four-sided windowed cupola. You can find Winn-Davis Park at the corner of Yacht Club Drive and Kidd Street.

On October 8, 2015, Daniel Laird from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection presented a check for $50,000 to the Town of Cinco Bayou for improvements to Winn Davis Park such as: picnic tables, handicap accessible ramp, dock, and re-paving of the parking lot. Some of the improvements are shown in the picture of the park below.

Francis Park is nestled under the umbrella of huge oak trees, surrounded by Kidd Bayou and Cinco Bayou with picnic tables scattered about for residents and locals alike to enjoy a tranquil moment during their day.
